This package exists for the specific purpose of adding ported patches based on those originally created by Alex Williamson for:

Arbitrary patches will not be added.

Refer to the wiki on PCI passthrough and this blog post on IOMMU groups for risks/caveats before using this package.

Regular AUR etiquette applies as well (knowledge of makepkg and searching the wiki/Arch forums is expected, and AUR helpers or Arch-based distros that are not Arch Linux are unsupported).

Pssst, the PKGBUILD states you are at pkgrel=2 but the .SRCINFO isn't reflecting that change. Might you re-run mksrcinfo?

markzz commented on 2016-01-04 04:41 (UTC)

@electricprism, that information is in the PKGBUILD.

You need to actually read the error messages above to see what the problem is. You are probably getting the same issue that gets comes up constantly for any aur package using signed sources - you don't have the public keys in your key ring. https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Makepkg#Signature_checking

I do know for a fact that this package builds. If you cannot build this (it may be because you're using something like yaourt and you have not enough ram), you can use my repository and install it from there. A direct link to the information for the repository [1] (so you can add to your pacman.conf if you wish) and a direct link to the package [2] and its signature (key ID 3CADDFDD) below [3] (for x86_64 only).

Thats odd, installing from your repo worked fine, but I get ' A failure occurred in prepare()' when building it manually.

markzz commented on 2015-11-22 00:36 (UTC)

It builds fine for me.

lolwtfidk commented on 2015-11-22 00:35 (UTC)

Needs maintenance, 'Failed to prepare()'.
